Amundi MSCI Emerging Ex China ESG Selection UCITS ETF DR (C)

What this fund is

Amundi MSCI Emerging Ex China ESG Selection UCITS ETF DR (C) is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from Amundi, traded under the ticker EMXG (ISIN LU2345046655). It lets you buy a basket of holdings in a single trade, spreading your money across them rather than one company. At its core it is a focused, thematic fund: it concentrates on the information technology part of the market, so it lives or dies by that one area rather than the economy as a whole. Underneath, it is about owning small slices of companies, so you share in their growth when they do well — and their falls when they don't. Rather than a manager picking stocks, it simply replicates the MSCI EM ex China ESG Selection P-Series 5% Issuer Capped Index index — the passive, low-cost approach, and its largest holdings include TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFAC, SAMSUNG ELECTRO MECHANICS and UNITED MICROELECTRONICS CORP.

Spread across roughly 243 holdings (the ten largest ≈ 51.6%), no one position makes or breaks the fund. Geographically it leans ~40.5% Taiwan, ~18.6% South Korea and ~16.5% India. By industry it concentrates most in ~49.8% Information Technology and ~20.4% Financials. A focused fund like this is typically held as a smaller 'satellite' position around a broader core — a way to lean into one theme, not usually a portfolio's only holding. Its ongoing charge (TER) is 0.35% a year — about €35 a year on a €10,000 holding, taken automatically from the fund.

Income such as dividends is automatically reinvested inside the fund (an accumulating share class), so returns compound without you doing anything. It holds the underlying investments directly (physical replication); it is domiciled in Luxembourg and UCITS-regulated, a European standard built to protect everyday investors and trades in USD. Its price has swung about 27.5% over the past year, which describes how much its price tends to move rather than whether it is good. It launched in 2021. As with any investment, its value can go down as well as up, and past performance is not a guide to future results. (Fund data sourced from Amundi.)
